“I'm endorsing Rebecca Parson for Congress, because as a Tacoma City Councilmember, I've seen just how much our community needs universal housing, rent control, healthcare, and environmental justice. I also appreciate that Rebecca will focus on closing the income inequality gap and support our hard working families with jobs and better wages.
I also value that she's the only Democrat in the race who doesn't take corporate PAC or lobbyist money, and that she has a strong pro-union platform. I've worked with Rebecca in her position as a commissioner on the Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities, and I know that when she's in Congress, she'll stay true to her values and keep her campaign promises.”
“We need more action at the federal level on racial justice and equity. Rebecca called for the police officers who killed Manuel Ellis to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, she stands for abolishing private prisons, and she supports reparations and reallocating funding from the police to social services. As a mother of a daughter, who attends an HBCU, I am also glad to see Rebecca supporting more funding to HBCUs. Her Democratic opponent, on the other hand, voted against demilitarizing the police in 2014. I ran for office in 2018 and I know how hard it is. Rebecca has never flip-flopped on her values, so to me the choice is clear: elect Rebecca Parson for Congress, WA-06! 🙌🏽”
“I endorse Rebecca Parson because she will fight for policies that will provide meaningful economic and health security for everyone in Western Washington, like making sure everyone has affordable and accessible health care and housing, and investing in healthy forests. These policies mean dignified jobs for rural working families, and financial security for our elders.”
“As a member of the Sierra Club and the Conversation, environmental and racial justice are very important to me. I believe it's long overdue that our district be represented by someone who stands for the Green New Deal, abolishing private prisons, and reparations. I first met Rebecca through the Conversation and have also volunteered with her when she led the 27th LD's 2019 endorsement committee. I am happy to support Rebecca Parson for Congress.”
“I am happy to endorse a candidate like Rebecca Parson because she gets it. I feel confident in her ability to represent the majority and not the wealthy few because of the work she does on behalf of the people. I want a member of Congress like her who is dedicated to doing anti-racist work and truly values creating solutions that solve problems so we can all live in a healthier society.”
“Rebecca, like Bernie, believes that our nation works better when I care about your family and you care about mine. Her priorities of a homes guarantee, Medicare for All, and a Green New Deal will create millions of living wage jobs and make us safer and healthier. COVID-19 has shown that countries with universal public healthcare had far better outcomes than those with private healthcare. Rebecca will provide the kind of leadership that District 6, and Washington state as a whole, needs. This is why I am proud to support her candidacy.”
“I want a member of Congress who won't take money from the healthcare industry and who will fight for healthcare for everyone, so we're not at the mercy of the insurance and pharmaceutical companies anymore. I want someone who brings real energy to fix the things that aren't working and who will enact real change—not more of the same. That's why I support Rebecca for Congress.”
“I support my Tacoma neighbor Rebecca Parson because she is compassionate, committed and is running to make the transformative changes in our criminal legal and incarceration system that our communities desperately need. In order to decisively break from a system that disproportionately punishes poor people and people of color, we need a member of Congress with the bold vision and ability to translate demands from our movement into legislative action at the highest levels. I’m very proud to support Rebecca’s campaign.”
“We need an alternative to the Kilmer status quo. The people of our district are suffering from lack of healthcare, rising housing costs, and more. Rebecca is a real progressive and she'll fight for single-payer healthcare, rent control, and housing assistance. She's the change we need.”
“I want a member of Congress who will fight for people over profit, election reform, housing security, food security, healthcare security, and the Green New Deal. I've worked with Rebecca closely and I trust her to fight for these issues. I endorse Rebecca Parson for Congress.”
"I have known Rebecca Parson for two years and met her while serving on the Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities which is the body which advises the City of Tacoma Council on disabilities. She is a strong advocate for affordable housing, environmental, and disability issues. I very much appreciate her commitment to Medicare for All and her commitment to deinstitutionalization with the Disability Integration Act. She will be able to listen effectively to the constituents in District 6 and get workable solutions with no strings attached as our next Representative and for that I am more than happy to support her candidacy."
“I know that Rebecca will always remember the people with her policies. I know that Rebecca will always speak with precise words that hold conviction while she is in office. I know that Rebecca has the backbone it takes to stand up for what is right in the face of pressure. Rebecca is the only person in this race that I am sure of. Her progressive values are apparent and her wish to serve the people is genuine. For those reasons, I give my personal endorsement to Rebecca Parson for Congress.”
"I'm sick of politicians ignoring the poor. We're dying because of a lack of healthcare, medical care, food, and housing. Rebecca gets it, and she has the best policies to help us. Policy comes first, but as a queer woman, I also appreciate that she's the first woman or queer person to ever run for WA-06. We have a wave of strong, progressive women leading the Democratic Party, and I want Rebecca in Congress leading, too."
"Rebecca Parson graciously allotted Whole Washington an entire meeting for their presentation of I-1600 at Indivisible Tacoma where she helped sign out petition boards to people interested in volunteering, and she has come out canvassing my precinct with me, to register voters and ask what issues were their highest concern. She has since been appointed to the board of Whole Washington, where she is helping to lead a grassroots, volunteer-based coalition to get Universal Healthcare in Washington State. That’s why I proudly endorse Rebecca as the candidate for CD6 that will not just say she is for Medicare for All, but who is helping make single-payer happen."
